ABOUT ME
I truly believe that birthing a child is a gift and a rite of passage. When a woman has the access to knowledge and nurturing support she can have a truly empowering and bonding experience for her and her family.
It is these beliefs that have called me to become a doula. I hope I can encourage women to educate themselves, embrace the unknown of the labor process and empower themselves to have the birth that is right for them and their baby.
